Pentagon officials have approved a policy that would allow a limited group of undocumented young people who came to the U.S. as children to enlist in the military, opening up a path for them to eventually become citizens, The Huffington Post has learned," reports the liberal website.

The move, which has not been formally announced by the Obama administration, would affect some of the roughly 550,000 undocumented young people granted the ability to remain in the country under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, many of whom have pled with the government to allow them to enlist.

The military often requires applicants to be eligible for a Top Secret clearance, because anything the military does is a national security measure.
Being an illegal immigrant shows flagrant disregard for the law, which should be disqualifying in and of itself.
An illegal immigrant with fake papers is harder to vet for a security clearance, another reason to reject them.

Beat me to it, Clinton and Obowma both could not get security clearances. Something like this will muddy the waters even more. They are screwing things up as much as they can while they can. Pray for guidance.

Great. So now our soldiers will have to worry about being fragged by fellow soldiers of unknown backgrounds and loyalties. Great. Just Great. On the plus side, that will mean fewer Veterans needing VA services.

snip The new change, under a Pentagon recruitment plan called Military Accessions Vital to National Interest, would allow some undocumented immigrants with critical language or medical skills to enlist in the armed forces -- considerably limiting the number of Dreamers who would be eligible.

That would be a horrible, horrible mistake. Polls show that most Americans want illegal aliens deported. I guess they need them in the military because they would be willing to fire upon Americans where our fellow countrymen would refuse to do it.
